permanently removing apps from iPhone
I removed a NordVPN app from my home screen, but the app still resides in "Setting" and turns itself on and off from time to time. How do I permanently remove it from my iPhone?

Hello,
If you only removed the app from your Home Screen its data would be saved and the app can still be used on your iPhone. If you delete it from your App Library the app and its data would be deleted from your iPhone and iCloud. Depending on the type of VPN connection you used you may also need to delete the VPN configuration profile to fully remove its connecting.

"Delete an app from App Library and Home Screen: Touch and hold the app in App Library, tap Delete App, then tap Delete. (See Find your apps in App Library.)"
Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple Support
"You can see the profiles you have installed in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. If you delete a profile, all of the settings, apps, and data associated with the profile are also deleted."
I hope this helps.

If it had a vpn you’ll have to delete the vpn as well
I was able to essentially delet it using the path through Setting> General etc. It is totally deactivated. Thank you for your assistance.
